That Camo Shirt
Someone bought Baby Picasso (the 4 yr. old) a camo t-shirt some time ago and it had been hanging in the closet not worn for some time. I took it out and placed it in one of Baby Picasso’s dresser drawer’s so he could wear it if he wanted before it got too small. Yesterday evening after swimming he came in to change into dry clothes and guess what he picked out? Yes, that camo t-shirt.
He became instantly mesmerized by army men and talked continuously about his camo t-shirt while riding on his bike and playing. I kind of felt bad for keeping it from him for so long. It’s not that I didn’t want him to wear it. It’s just that I never picked it out when I dressed him simply because I thought it was an ugly choice for a shirt.
Anyway, for a few hours last night he just couldn't get army men off his mind and the conversation continued in the shower…
4 year old: "Mom, do army men cut their toe nails?"
Me: "Yes."
4 year old: "Mom, do army men take showers?"
Me: "Yes."
4 year old: "Mom, do army men shoot their guns in the shower?"
Me: “No.”
4 year old: “Why not?”
Me: “Because they need to get clean.”
Apparently he was satisfied with that answer because he washed his hair, got out of the shower then let me cut his toenails without a fight. Maybe that camo t-shirt isn’t so bad after all. I wonder what I can get him to do next. ;)Labels: 4 year old son, motherhood

I want one of those shirts! ;)
My 2 yo has tons of camo shirts, shorts, etc. but they aren't magical like your little one's!
That's too cute. The questions they come up with are amazing, huh?
Ah, clever! Think of the ways you could use this in the future...
